At Bayern I was going crazy but I climbed out of that misery

Anfield ace Gravenberch opens up on his Munich mental health battle

LIVERPOOL'S Ryan Gravenberch has revealed how joining the Reds stopped him "going crazy.

The 23-year-old Dutch ace has admitted that he started to struggle mentally after his dream move to Bayern Munich became a nightmare under coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Gravenberch's father believes his son was close to depression before he was rescued by a £34million move to Anfield two years ago.

The midfielder had a stellar campaign under Arne Slot last season as Liverpool were crowned champions. And only now has he lifted the lid on the year from hell which saw him start just three games after joining Bayern from Ajax.
